Summary:
Published by Steve Lawrence and edited alongside Peter Hujar and Andrew Ullrick, Newspaper was issued in New York City between 1968 and 1971. A wordless, picture-only periodical that replicated the scale of the New York Times, Newspaper ran for 14 issues and featured the disparate practices of over 40 artists. With an editorial focus on placing appropriated material alongside new artworks, the periodical sought to codify a visual language of high and low culture that represented contemporary society in the late 1960s. While largely overlooked in art-historical discourse, Newspaper showcased many of the most revered artists working in the United States at the time, as well as an emerging coterie of queer artists.

Summary:
Format Photographers launched in 1983. It was, uniquely, an agency run by women photographers, for women photographers. It closed in 2003. "From its beginning, the Format ethos and working practice were based on three key principles. The agency aimed to encourage its members to develop their creativity and careers, while remaining sensitive to the context in which their images were used and distributed. It portrayed people and issues that were under-represented in the mainstream media of the time. By photographing women and men in non-traditional roles, its members aimed to break down gender stereotypes, and changed the way women and other marginalised groups were seen."

Summary:
Le catalogue de la 13e édition des Rencontres de Bamako – Biennale africaine de la photographie, sur les thèmes de la multiplicité, de la différence, du devenir et du patrimoine. L'outil essentiel pour appréhender la nature mouvante et évolutive de la multiplicité réside dans la narration. Elle incarne un moyen central par lequel l'humanité pointe son objectif sur elle-même et impulse une tentative d'auto-compréhension et de réflexion. L'ampleur des réponses données à travers l'histoire témoigne de la nature congéniale de la narration et de la multiplicité. De plus, les histoires que nous racontons négocient non seulement qui nous sommes, mais préfigurent également les courants sous-jacents de ce que nous deviendrons. Telle est la préoccupation qui se trouve au cœur de la 13e édition des Rencontres de Bamako – les histoires que nous racontons, les multiples facettes de l'humanité que nous accueillons, les notions de processualité, le devenir dans l'être, les identités stratifiées, fragmentées et divergentes, et les multiples façons d'être dans le monde, qu'elles soient vécues ou imaginées.

Summary:
Ce numéro est consacré à l’histoire des manipulations photographiques d’où résultent des images hybrides, soit composées de plusieurs photographies, soit mêlant la photographie à d’autres techniques d’imagerie. À la suite de récents travaux interrogeant l’histoire du photomontage sur le temps long, du XIXe siècle à la culture numérique actuelle, ce numéro propose une histoire parallèle de la photographie : une histoire dans laquelle la composition prime sur l’enregistrement. En étudiant la manipulation d’images chez les graphistes, les illustrateurs et les publicitaires, il s’agit de montrer comment le matériau photographique a pu être recombiné, recomposé, ré-agencé. L’actualité des pratiques vernaculaires du montage sur Internet fait l’objet d’une attention particulière, tout autant que les usages et discours des métiers de l’imprimé et de la communication visuelle.

Summary:
Collects over 175 years of key moments in the visual history of the Southern United States, with over two hundred and fifty photographs taken from 1845 to present. The South is perhaps the most mythologized region in the United States and also one of the most depicted. Since the dawn of photography in the nineteenth century, photographers have articulated the distinct and evolving character of the South’s people, landscape, and culture and reckoned with its fraught history. Indeed, many of the urgent questions we face today about what defines the American experience—from racism, poverty, and the legacy of slavery to environmental disaster, immigration, and the changes wrought by a modern, global economy—appear as key themes in the photography of the South. The visual history of the South is inextricably intertwined with the history of photography and also the history of America, and is therefore an apt lens through which to examine American identity.

Summary:
A lively tour through experimental Chinese photography from the early 1990s to today The past thirty years were dynamic, transformative decades in Chinese photography. Artists exposed to recent work from around the globe experimented with photography in newly conceptual and expressive ways, and their art from this period offers a portrait of a country at a moment of rapid urbanization, globalization, and cultural foment. A Window Suddenly Opens reveals the key role that photography has played in questioning and refashioning the aesthetic and social status quo of modern Chinese society for the past three decades.

Summary:
This illustrated book explores the cultural conditions for photography in Hungary in the first half of the twentieth century and the exodus of groundbreaking Hungarian artists, many of whom journeyed to Berlin, Paris, or London before settling in the United States. The story of the bounty of intellectual and artistic talent that departed Hungary during this period is told in depth, from the photojournalistic legacy of the Capa brothers and Martin Munkácsi to the deeply experimental work made in the United States by artists such as László Moholy-Nagy and György Kepes to the portraits of cinema icons by André de Dienes, including Marilyn Monroe, which helped fuel Hollywood’s Golden Age. The book also introduces the major but underrecognized talent of artists, including John Albok, Anna Barna, Ferenc Berko, Michael Simon, and Paula Wright.

Summary:
The ports of the Swahili coast-- Zanzibar and Mombasa among them-- have long been dynamic centers of trade where diverse peoples, ideas, and materials converge. With the arrival of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, these predominantly Muslim coastal communities cultivated and transformed the medium. "The surface of things" examines the complex maritime dynamics that shaped the photography of coastal Africa, exploring the pleasure and power of beautiful things and the ways people and their pictures transcended the boundaries of the colonial world. Immersing readers in the globally interconnected networks of eastern Africa’s port cities, Prita Meier demonstrates how photographs are not static images but mobile objects with remarkable shape-shifting qualities.

Summary:
''Oscura'' a mené depuis 1990 une centaine d’ateliers guidés par des photographes de renom, de Belleville à Ankara, du Havre à Bamako, destinés à faire découvrir la photographie argentique par la pratique du sténopé. Le sténopé repose sur le principe optique de la chambre noire : à travers un trou percé dans une boîte, une image inversée des formes extérieures se projette naturellement à l’intérieur de la boîte. En y plaçant un papier photosensible, on obtient une image peu maîtrisable tant le dispositif est rudimentaire, mais – et c’est ce qui fait sa force –, énigmatique, déformée, imparfaite, émouvante, ouverte à l’imagination… Le présent ouvrage rassemble quelque 200 images issues de ces ateliers, qui témoignent de la démarche d’Oscura autant que d’une multiplicité de regards sur le monde.
